Sleeping baby

I just wanted to remember Colbie's sleeping position at 15 months.  She looks like a little turtle.  She sleeps with her arms under her body and butt in the air, so cute!

Of course taking this picture woke her up

My first popscicle

Colbie was nice enough to share her very first Popsicle with cousin Ryder, so cute!

Ryder ate his pretty quickly=)

Colbie was quite slow

Sharing=)

Remlinger Farms

We took Colbie to Remlinger Farms for a fun family event before Jon's back surgery.  The weather was awesome and we had a great time minus the long car ride=).

I'm happy to say Jon's surgery went great, he has a long recovery ahead but is happy to be lounging in our bed instead of at the hospital.

Waiting to ride the train

Here it comes!  Colbie loves "Choo-Choos"

Seeing the farm animals

Love this pic of my two cuties

Climbing in the hay and through the tunnels with Daddy

Driving the car with Mommy

Cooling off

Horses were great from a distance, but not quite ready to take a ride

15 month stats

Colbie had her 15 month check up today.  We were hoping for a few more pounds and a few less tears, but overall a good appointment. 

Height: 31 inches (68%)
Weight: 20.6 pounds (14%)
Head: 17.5 (13%)

First Day of School

That's right Colbie had her first day of school at age 14 months=) and as you can see there were a few tears, but considering it's the first time leaving her with anyone other than my mom, she did pretty good!  Colbie is super lucky to be attending the Experimental Education Unit (EEU) in Seattle, thanks to my fabulous friend Bethany who has worked there for a long time!  Colbie has a class with both typical children and children with disabilities and it's free =).  She goes to class Monday and Wednesday from 9-10:30.  Charlotte (Bethany's daughter) will be joining Colbie's class in September, so fun!

I stayed in class with Colbie for the first 35 minutes or so, then waived bye-bye and watched the remainder of her day from the viewing booth.  She shed only a few tears when I left, but the teachers distracted her and she enjoyed some snack, played with the babies, and loved the water table.  When it was time to close the water table for circle, Colbie had a rough time.....She cried for the remainder of class, which was luckily only about 10 minutes.  Not getting to play with the water and looking around for a missing Mommy to console her was too much.  She started a bit or a train reaction and most of the kids in class cried through circle time.....sorry teacher Carolyn.

 It was so fun to see her exploring the classroom and interacting with the other kiddos!  Enjoy the pics....sorry there are way too many!

At the end of class, poor baby

Classmates

Colbie loved climbing through this

Playing with a new friend

She loved doing the slide all by herself

She did lots of observing, there was a lot to take in

Transitioning from outside time to snack

Water Fun

The weather has been great this week and we have really enjoyed it.  We went to Crosswords Splash Park and even got to use our pool.  Colbie is not afraid of the water or the freezing temperature, she loves it!

Testing the water with Grandma

Brave enough to sit on the step.  Enjoying chewing the sprinkler also.

Splashing is lots of fun=)
